High precision laser cutting MAZAK 3D Fabri Gear, from Yamazaki Mazak Optonics, is a 3D laser cutting machine for large tube and profile processing. It allows non-stop cutting of different shapes with a single machine set- up, using a universal focal torch (7.5" and 5") to obtain the right angle inclination in every point. This ensures a perfect match between cut parts having different shapes, and realises a proper chamfering for welding operation. This technical feature allows efficient processing on structural parts for carpentry construction. with maximum length up to 15m, maximum tube diameter 323mm, and profiles with a maximum section of 250x250mm. CNC controls the pipe’s shape, using a measurement system that detects shape failure in the workpiece. Thanks to a special device located beside the cutting torch, the welding joint is detected to orientate it in a convenient position. Yamazaki Mazak Optonics is the laser division of the Japanese Yamazaki Mazak Corporation. Yamazaki Mazak has eight production factories, 50 technological centres and 45 technical centres.

20m underground, for the construction of advanced laser technologies. The new Mazak World Parts Center, connected with the worldwide distribution centres, provides spare parts worldwide. R&D centres are present in all production factories to develop the most suitable solutions for clients’ needs. Yamazaki Mazak Optonics Europe NV – Belgium Fax: +32 12 7253320

The machine is equipped with four chucks to process long finished parts, automatic and compact centring clamps to minimise material scrap, and both side longitudinal movement. The automatic loading/unloading system is able to process tubes and profiles

In 2008 the company opened the Phoenix Laboratory – a unique and futuristic factory with more than 10,000m 2 of production area,

Circular saw blades

TANGSHAN Metallurgical Saw Blade Co is based in Tangshan City in the north of China. The company, established in 1963, has been engaged in manufacturing a wide range of circular saw blades for more than 45 years. The company produces five kinds of circular saw blades with more than 2,000 specifications, including metal hot-cutting circular saw blade (Φ800-2,500mm), metal cold-cutting circular saw blade (Φ300- 1,600mm), TCT circular saw blade (Φ300- 2,200mm), HSS segmental circular saw blade (Φ630-1,430mm), and diamond circular saw blank (Φ300-3,500mm). Friction saws and TCT milling saws are widely applied for cutting the seamless pipes

and ERW pipes. Chinese steel pipe producers like Baosteel Group Corporation, Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation, Hengyang Valin Steel Pipe Tube Co Ltd, Pangang Group, Baotou Iran & Steel (Group) Co Ltd, Angan Steel Co Ltd, Kingland Group Co Ltd, North China Petroleum Steel Pipe Co, Tianjin Grey Steel Pipe Co Ltd and so on are main and stable customers of Tangsaw. Besides steel pipes, Tangsaw products are also introduced for cutting steel sections (like H-beam, I-beam, angle steel and channel steel) and steel round bars. Now Tangsaw products are equipped with famous sawing machines like SMS, Linsinger, MFL, Danieli, Wagner, Nippon, Hitachi and Abbey.

Tangsaw is the first saw blade manufacturer in China to pass the ISO 9001 quality management system and is applying for the ISO14000 environment management system. In addition, Tangsaw has imported themost advancedmanufacturingmachinery and technology for producing saw blades. This includes advanced equipment such as CNC TCT grinding machines, automatic brazing machines and laser cutting machines from Germany. Tangshan Metallurgical Saw Blade Co – China
